Summary

The cohort-component methodology is used to estimate the 2019 mid-year population of South Africa.

The estimates cover all the residents of South Africa at 2019 mid-year point, and are based on the latest available information. Estimates may change as new data become available. The new estimates are accompanied by an entire series of revised estimates for the period 2002?2019. On this basis, comparisons between this model and previous ones should not be made.

For 2019, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) estimates the mid-year population at 58,78 million.

Approximately 51,2% (approximately 30 million) of the population is female.

Gauteng comprises the largest share of the South African population, with approximately 15,2 million people (25,8%) living in this province. KwaZulu-Natal is the province with the second largest population, with an estimated 11,3 million people (19,2%) living in this province. With a population of approximately 1,26 million people (2,2%), Northern Cape remains the province with the smallest share of the South African population.

About 28,8% of the population is aged younger than 15 years and approximately 9,0% (5,3 million) is 60 years or older. Of those younger than 15 years of age, the majority reside in Gauteng (21,5%) and KwaZuluNatal (21,1%). Of the elderly (those aged 60 years and older), the highest percentage 23,9% (1,27 million) reside in Gauteng. The proportion of elderly persons aged 60 and older is increasing over time.

Migration is an important demographic process, as it shapes the age structure and distribution of the provincial population. For the period 2016?2021, Gauteng and Western Cape are estimated to experience the largest inflow of migrants of approximately, 1 643 590 and 493 621 respectively (see migration stream Tables 7, 8 and 9 for net migration).

Life expectancy at birth for 2019 is estimated at 61,5 years for males and 67,7 years for females.

The infant mortality rate for 2019 is estimated at 22,1 per 1 000 live births.

The estimated overall HIV prevalence rate is approximately 13,5% among the South African population. The total number of people living with HIV (PLWHIV) is estimated at approximately 7,97 million in 2019. For adults aged 15?49 years, an estimated 19,07% of the population is HIV positive.
